90% of the Southern were Viet Cong. Viet Cong were those opposed the Ngo Dinh Diem and Nguyen Van Thieu regimes. Idiots!

Edwin Tran, you should commend you and your family members to create An Asian Buddhist Human Rights to monitor Vietnamese police and army to abuse powerless people, will be a good idea. You do not know anything, let shut up your mouth, no one scolds you deaf. You're living in UK, how come you stupid guy know the present situation in Vietnam than us by reading on Internet or by your Viet Cong mentors? What is sad of you, all your relatives died in Vietnam by Ngo Dinh Diem regime, North Vietnam saved your life and put you on the throne? Please think about South Vietnamese sacrified to fight ruthless communist regime.

Only China, Vietnam, Laos and Burma should be in a group of Human Right Violators not Human rights protectors at all. Dont talk stupidly Edwin Tran. If you are mentally ill like Tran Huynh said so be silent and seeking treatment is better, do not keep it too long, it might be dangerous for your family and society. HRW working very transparently only violator countries such as China and our Vietnam do not satisfy.

I am recommending Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, Myanmar, Bangladesh, Sri lanka, Thai, Japan and China to form an Asia Buddhist Human Rights Group to counter the unnecessary of the current HRW is doing. Asia Buddhist Human Rights Group should adopt its own flag likes the Crescent moon of Islam. The current HR Group is very much a war mongering to those small countries and bullies organization. Countries faced with trades embargo, economic sanctions, children died from lack of medicines, an older or a pregnant woman died because they did not have the special treatments they should get and all of these started by the current Human Rights Group. It is reminding me of the policy introduced by President Ngo Ding Diem in South Vietnam. I am saddened if the HR Group is to continue this kind of works.

The World strongly condemn these Hanoi cowardy tactics to oust these non-violent people. This people blood sucker regime, the world community must put heavy punshiment by any means. First, they lured Thay Thich Nhat Hanh back to Vietnam so as to let WTO admit them as member also American administration removed them from religious restricted countries when they got their wicked plans done then turned against Thich Nhat Hanh and his followers forcefully. This is the most ungrateful regime of communist ever perpetrated. One Vietnamese slogan stated that Dont believe whatever CONG SANG said but watching Hanoi communist doing. For Edwin Tran, he is not so normal, he is seriously mentally ill. Please all do not mind him.

PART 1
Vicky, Ms. Pearson does have a problem. She is an evil hatred. Such a small matter like this could result if Thay Thich Nhat Hanh has contributed his voice to the problem. Thay Thich Nhat Hanh, however choose keep quiet, which is the way to do it and he should have not making any comments when he was welcomed back in Vietnam. The problem is simply too small to involved massive politics. We, the overseas Vietnamese like to kiss American and EU buts and caused many non-sense problems unnecessary.

PART1.5
The HRW is a Catholics organization its head office in Rome and other major offices in the US and the EU and have no other religious representatives involved in this organization. How do they know what other religions wanted? They do not! They think everyone wanted them. The Vietnamese Buddhist did not ask them for intervened! They did without a request. Thay thich Nhat Hanh is a small group and does not represent for the mass Buddhist group in Vietnam. No government wanted to upset the peaceful Buddhist group in Vietnam because they are the patriot.

PART2
Vietnam matter has not killed anyone and in fact Vietnam is practicing the unusual democracy! Vietnam is approaching every method to come out with a good result for everyone and have invited the EU special envoy to monitor the situation, but still disrupted by those did not like the Thay Thich Nhat Hanh’s order to be in Vietnam anymore. Vietnam has done very possible approach to make the life of the Vietnamese in Vietnam get better and help those affected by the chemical Orange Agent by humbly asked for the international economics development support and also Vietnam done a great job at the UN and she called the world to stop this everything. Is that better for Vietnam or better for the HRW? What is she, the Devil? I also sick with the overseas Vietnamese and particularly those in the US are being very stupid not to support Vietnam current policies toward economic development. I recommended every one of us to praise more for Vietnam achieving what they have achieved.

This is the great rudest action of Hanoi Animal Communist to turn against the unarmed, peaceful and calm Buddhist Monks and Nuns. This regime will try all ways to eliminate these people by using their unduly gangsters. It is very serious concerned which needs the US government reconsider to put Vietnam back on the blacklist of country pressurized religious practices. Very positive sign of Elaine Pearson to call for more alert on this inhumane system as well as EU must put more pressure on Hanoi to give more freedom on religious belief and sternly condemn their oppressing manner. In fact, it is Hanoi robber habit used to be done constantly to the weaker like the case of Khmer Krom in An Giang province, they evicted, plundered Khmer Krom's land for the Vietnamese Kinh. Down with Hanoi, Long Live Democratic spiritual soul.

Edwin Tran, you sound like a Vietnamese police agent. Agent orange is not an excuse for your government to abuse the rights to practice faith. And please don't be sexist. Ms. Pearson's opinion is sound and based on facts. You are welcomed to dispute it with correct facts, not propaganda, and definitely not with personal attacks on Ms. Pearson. Your tactic is another lame attempt to spin the ugly situation in Bat Nha.

Unfortunately the Vietnamese are acting very similar to the Chinese government in using lies and disinformation to discredit Thich Nhat Hahn and his followers. This is a stupid tactic on the part of both communist governments because the rest of the world is not fooled. We know well enough that both Nhat Hanh and the Dalai Lama are gentle men deserving the greatest respect. Vietnam and China are merely bringing shame upon their own governments and the result will be far fewer tourists in both China and Vietnam. I have already stopped buying products from both countries and I hope that other people will do the same. Furthermore Vietnam and China are doing serious damage to the cause of world socialism by their actions. This is not a time when they can manipulate public opinion as we have the Internet and people are free to shape their own beliefs.

It sounds as if Vietnam is running into a third world war and need NATO Military support. This ladies Pearson does have any feeling toward the young Vietnamese children dying of the Orange Agent and have a lot of hatred toward the 83 million Vietnamese in general. This is a minor problem and is not a big issue to the world politics; she called the world to race against on Vietnam and stops all Aids. Is she really working for the HRW or the Mighty God of Hatred?
If Ms Pearson has nothing to do get another job and raise some children of your own may do you some good.
